Henry even though he called for her and he died several days later. Catherine
did not permit Diane to attend the funeral and banished her to lonely existence

through her three sons, Francis II, Charles IX, and Henry III.

In 1559, Francis II, age 15, was crowned King of France, but he died a year
later. Catherine’s second son, Charles IX, was crowned King at age ten in
1560 with Catherine as his regent and advisor. In 1572, there was a treaty be-

that the Protestants were attempting to sabotage the treaty, disrupt his reign

Catholics went on a rampage and began to slaughter all Protestants they could
find. The massacre spread beyond Paris and continued for weeks and spread
throughout France. It became known as “St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre,”
and it is estimated that between 5,000 to 30,000 Protestants were killed. Two
years later, Charles died of tuberculosis.
